Stock Number: 173204 Mileage: Color: Red Metallic Accessories & Options: BMW Touring Cases, Luftmeister Trunk, Reynolds bag mounts and folding luggage rack that allows the seat to fully open. Tool tray, tire pump and one spare BMW oil filter. No tool kit is included. Cosmetic Condition: Average. The bike shows some very minor storage nicks, dings and a few scratches. It appears to have fallen over on the right side and has a small scrape on the fairing edge, valve cover and the trunk but it’s not bad and the fairing does NOT have any visible cracks. There is only the smallest level of rust on hardware and bolts. There is some typical paint fade most visible on the tank and the pin stripes have worn through from regular washing and waxing although it’s clearly been a while since thoroughly cleaned. Mirrors are original, the left one is cracked. The original windscreen is serviceable but has some scratches that may or may not polish out with a little effort. Mechanical Condition: This machine came in not running but the seller swears that the mileage is original and that while it’s not been run in several years it ran excellent. His words, not ours and his life changed and he stopped riding. We put it in gear and with the rear wheel the engine and trans turned over easily. The throttle turns fine but the choke cable seems stuck and may just be the 2 into 1 connector under the tank; a common issue. The front master cylinder will need rebuilding or replacing. Clutch lever resistance and action feel strong. The carbs do have some minor residue in the bowls and there is some old fuel still in the gas tank and a tiny bit of coating degradation along the hump over the main frame but the rest looks clean. We have one key and it fits and works everything. There is no key for the saddlebags but they are available and one key for the trunk is included. These machines all had rear drum brakes so there should be no issue here. Most rubber is in good condition. The tires look like they should easily pass inspection; the front has more tread than rear; Metzeler ME33 front and ME99 rear. Wheels and front discs look fine and appear to have plenty of meat. Notes: A weekend’s effort plus battery, fluids, fork seals, carb and the master cylinder issue should do it. Those parts should cost around $600 so sweat equity could earn you a decent touring machine in the $3000 range when completed.
